Rest and Miracles

“I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live” (John 11:25).

During the last week of His mortal ministry, the Savior spent time in the town of Bethany. Just a short time before, Jesus had visited Bethany to raise His friend Lazarus from the dead. After seeing this miracle, many people in the town believed Jesus to be the Son of God.

In 2022, President Russell M. Nelson suggested we seek and expect miracles to help us maintain positive spiritual momentum:

The Lord will bless you with miracles if you believe in Him, “doubting nothing” [Mormon 9:21]. Do the spiritual work to seek miracles. Prayerfully ask God to help you exercise that kind of faith. I promise that you can experience for yourself that Jesus Christ “giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength” [Isaiah 40:29]. Few things will accelerate your spiritual momentum more than realizing the Lord is helping you to move a mountain in your life. (“The Power of Spiritual Momentum,” Liahona, May 2022, 100)
